"Life's not what you're given, it's what you make of your circumstances that defines you as a person."
College is always an experience. Some people get addicted to the freedom and others are just happy to have their own space. Arielle Evans has never been one to enjoy parties, or to move two states away from home just to get some breathing room, but this year she's done both. And it's starting to look like things might just be turning around in her life. Will college be enough to convince this anxious, socially inept freshman that there's more to life than what you're given? Or will a budding new romance be enough to scare her away from the possibility of change instead? This is the year that will make or break the rest of her life, so will Arielle be brave enough to take a chance and finally save herself?

Timeless Love | Englot
She's the type who walks into a room and silences it with a glare-CEO, perfectionist, easily angered and impossible to impress. Life, for her, is a checklist of wins and control. Then she met her. Soft-spoken, unfailingly kind, and stubborn in the gentlest way. A quiet force of nature with a smile that disarms, and a secret buried deep in her skull-an aneurysm that could rupture at any moment. They were opposites. One ran from vulnerability. The other lived with its shadow every day. What began as a clash of personalities slowly unraveled into late-night confessions, stolen glances, and love that neither of them saw coming. But with time quite literally ticking inside her head, every shared moment is a fight-not just against fear, but for something worth staying alive for.Complete
Everyone's Punching Bag
Sam couldn't pinpoint how or when it happened, but sometime during her college years in the 1990s, she became everyone's punching bag. She also couldn't figure out why. She didn't know if she invited mistreatment or if the people surrounding her were all just cruel. Sam's so-called girlfriends put her through the wringer, yet somehow the men in her life treated her even worse. It's no wonder she became jaded and distrustful. Unfortunately, no amount of mind-altering substances would take the pain away. Could she ever gain the confidence to stand up to the bullies and break the cycle of abuse? Were there actually any good people out there, and if yes, how could she find them? Did she even want to keep looking? Or should she just put up a wall to protect herself from the world?Complete
Don't Save Me, Stay | Paige Bueckers
Arianna Torres is used to surviving alone. It's not that she prefers isolation-it's that it's safer. After all, people leave. People hurt. And no one sticks around when they see the real her: the trauma, the mood swings, the scars from growing up with a drug-addicted father and a mother who overdosed in the bathroom while Arianna was the one to find her. Diagnosed with BPD and PTSD, Arianna is constantly balancing between craving love and being terrified of it. She plays for UConn now, but she's not there to make friends-she's there to earn her future and keep everyone at arm's length. Until she breaks. After an intense away game triggers a panic attack followed by a near-complete shutdown, Arianna is put on temporary leave and forced into a recovery plan that includes one thing she never asked for: support. And the one assigned to check in on her, stay with her, and-God forbid-care about her? Paige Bueckers. The golden girl of college basketball. Charismatic, soft-spoken, patient. Everything Arianna isn't. What starts as reluctant forced proximity becomes something far more complex. Paige doesn't try to fix her. She just... stays. She doesn't ask for Arianna's secrets. She simply offers warm silences, movie nights, and shared playlists. The closer they get, the more Arianna starts to crack-not in a bad way, but in the kind of way that feels like healing. Like maybe being seen doesn't have to hurt. Maybe touch doesn't have to burn. Maybe someone can stay. But falling for someone when you're still learning how to exist is dangerous. Arianna's self-sabotage runs deep. Her fear of abandonment is a wildfire. And Paige, despite her calm, carries her own quiet grief-injuries, pressure, and the weight of being everyone's hope. As they navigate late nights and raw confessions, tangled blankets and bruised hearts, Arianna must face the hardest truth of all: What if love isn't about being saved, but about letting someone stay even when you're at your worst?Complete

Charlotte Austin's life was built on a foundation of success: a thriving career, a devoted girlfriend, and a grandmother who was her only remaining family - until she wasn't. When her grandmother's health fades, a forgotten promise resurfaces - one made long before Charlotte could grasp the weight of true commitment. A vow that binds her to the last person Charlotte would ever trust - and the very person she's spent her life avoiding. Engfa Waraha. The self-centered player from Charlotte's past. The tormentor who turned Charlotte's life into a battleground. The feeling was mutual.

But fate, it seems, has a way of turning everything upside down. In a single, fateful moment, everything they thought they knew about themselves and their futures shatters. Now bound by a promise neither of them fully understands, they're caught in an unavoidable web of secrets, betrayal, and a connection they can't escape.
